BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science

Monique
Hi everyone, my name is Monique and I am a fellow Londoner.  I have currently finished my second year of Biomedical Science and I can’t wait to start my third. I am based at the School of Science in Medway, Kent and the environment is calm and peaceful compared to London. I commute from the Greenwich campus to the Medway campus on the days I have lectures and it’s amazing that I get an hour for my power naps in the morning on the coach. The Medway campus is near the river which has an amazing view with its harbour and there is a shopping nearby with restaurants such as Nandos, Pizza Hut, Subway and Burger King so you’ll never get hungry. Medway Campus is like a modern version of Hogsmead (Harry Potter) minus the Shrieking Shack.

As a Biomedical student we use lecture theatres and the labs so we’re never in one place for too long and we have the longest library in Europe full of textbooks. It’s so long that sometimes I feel like I need a bike to get from one side to the other.  There are times where Drill Hall Library is full as we share it with two other universities and because we have no uniform, you can never tell who is from which university. However, I always have the option to study in Greenwich Library. Best of both worlds.
We have quite a few modules such as biochemistry, some more interesting than the other but the academics are more than happy to help with any issues. Furthermore, this course also involves opportunity for socialising, such as in Labs, where you can interact with academics and other students while huddled around a table to carry out an experiment, such as dissecting the Sheep heart in Pathobiology. However, you do occasionally get the few who faint at the sight, or even the smell of rotting blood.
In terms of socialising, we also have a Facebook group as that’s the most active social site of our generation, it’s easier to communicate to other students regarding issues that some may already know the answer to.
Studying Biomedical Science expands your knowledge in science and gives you more experience in every field of science which in the end expands your doors of opportunity for the future.

Can't Wait to See You Guys :)
